I found the reason it wasn't working for me, on multiple servers. The application.cfm in my default test directory was set so that client and session management were both turned off. When I turned them on, the template worked just fine.

At least that's what I think it's doing. I tested it out for what I needed and it appears to be functioning. But does this effect only this one user session? Will anyone other user trying to access this page be locked out of the protected section of the page? And does anyone know what the maximum TIMEOUT value can be for this cflock tag? or what is safe?

The TIMEOUT attribute of CFLOCK doesn't specify the length that the lock will be held open, just the length CF will wait before giving up when trying to acquire the lock.
